TÜRK ÖĞRENCİLERİN KİTAP OKUMAMA SORUNUNA ÇÖZÜM ÖNERİLERİ

Yaşamakta olduğumuz bilgi çağının teknolojik ürünleri her geçen gün hayatımızda varlıklarını giderek daha fazla hissettirmektedirler. Bu ürünlerin, çok önemli ve vazgeçilmez faydalarının ve sağladıkları kolaylıkların yanında haberleşme, araştırma, taşınabilirlik, konfor vb. görmezden gelemeyeceğimiz birçok olumsuz yönleri de yok değildir. Özellikle, bilgisayar ve internete olan erişim kolaylığı en çok genç kuşakları esareti altına almakta, birbirinden çekici grafik, içerik ve tasarımlarıyla sayısız bilgisayar oyunu ve web siteleri genç kullanıcıları kendilerine bir mıknatıs gibi çekmekte ve onları ekran başına kilitlemektedir. Bununla birlikte boyutları kibrit kutusu ve okul tahtası arasında değişen dijital pencereler tarafından saatlerce hipnotize edilen gençlerimiz ne yazık ki giderek daha az kitap okumaktadırlar. Bilgi çağını bilgisizce yaşayan, zamanlarının büyük bir bölümünü sanal ortamlarda geçiren ve kendilerine yarınlarımızı teslim edeceğimiz genç nesli bu bağımlılıktan kurtarmak ve tekrar okumaya sevk etmek akademisyenler, araştırmacılar, öğretmenler, anne ve babalar olarak hepimize düşen bir görevdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı konu ile ilgili yapılan yeni araştırmaları okur ile paylaşmak ve toplumun kültür düzeyini arttırmak amacıyla genç kuşağa okumayı sevdirmek için yapılabilecekleri tartışmaktır. Makalenin sonunda okuma alışkanlığının kazandırılması konusunda yapılmasında fayda görülenlerle ilgili öneriler yer almaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Okuma alışkanlığı, Serbest Okuma, Aralıksız Sessiz Okuma, Hızlandırılmış Okuma
